FYI

I was happily running my XDA-mini-S with SPB Backup v1, Pocket Plus v3.1, Diary v1.7.1 when I got a nice upgrade available notice from SPB.

I installed the upgrade and all my SPB application setting were lost and 1/2 of the Pocket Plus options configuration menus were missing :(

So I restored the back that I had just taken from my storage card all was well again.

I sent a report to SPB who in their usual style send back a quick reply with a new version with a trace so they could PD the problem. Well all was well until I installed the trace version.

The new version did install and all looked the same as before...... I got the trace files ready to send, but while I was 'exploring' via active sync. I thought that there looked like a reduced number of folders on my device.

Oh well I thought, lets do a restore........ AHHHHHAHHHAHHAHAHHHHHHH...... where are the files on the SD card?

Yup - you guessed it, they were all gone. Well I got them back with a restoration program, but the XDA now says they are corrupt and the PC unpacker says they are not SPB Backup files :(

Has anyone already upgraded and seen similar problems, has it worked for anyone?

Anyone got any thoughts of how I can recover my data? I am waiting for SPB advice now before I make my next move.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

SPB are at the moment saying its a platform specific problem, so my advice to you is DO NOT UPRADE TO SPB BACKUP v1.1

I hope I can update this tomorrow with some good news.

I am still waiting for a reply to my emails on Thursady to SPB. Quite suprised that they have not replied sooner as they are usually quite quick.

I hope to have a reply tomorrow, if not its time to escalate.

Anyone else installed Spb Backup 1.1 on a xda-mini-S?

I've installed it on Qtek 9100 with the latest I-Mate Rom.
No problem at all.
